TouchDown

TouchDown is a program that lets you get you exchange email, contacts and calendar on you phone. As someone who uses my Droid with my work’s email server, I was pretty frustrated with the built in exchange program. One of my colleagues recommended TouchDown by NitroDesk. It comes as a 5 day trial to make sure it works for your server. I found it very easy to setup and get going. After using it for most of the day I have to say I am quite pleased. It looks much better than the built in program. It has lots of little touches that put it over the top such as widgets.

I really like being able to see quickly what the latest emails are so I can decide if I need to go into my email or not. Also the TouchDown home screen is very nice with easy access to all of you corporate functions making it east to go to your email or see your appointments or contacts.

I havn’t gotten to really push this app yet but from what I see so far this is the app I really needed. So far my only little hiccups have been my email coming a bit late. It has only happened a couple of times but it may be my server and not the app. This is by far the most expensive app I have purchased But so far seems like it was worth every penny. Everyone who uses corporate email should at least give the 5 day trial a shot. I don’t think you will regret it.
